Barley malt fermentation

Grape and apple juices usually contain all of the trace nutrients required by Saccharomjces for fermentation of sugars to alcohol. Other fmit and diluted honey, as well as barley malt and rice extract, frequendy need additions of nitrogen, phosphoms, and potassium compounds, together with some autolyzed yeast to faciUtate the yeast growth necessary for fermentation. Stimulation oiy4.cetobacter frequendy requires the addition of autolyzed... 

Maltose. Also known as malt sugar, maltose is a product of the fermentation of starches by enzymes or yeast. Barley malt, which is used as an adjunct in brewing, enhances die flavor and color of beer because of its maltose content Maltose also is formed by yeast during breadmaking. Maltose is the most common reducing dlsaccharide, H2O,... 

Natural sources of sugar available to primitive people were fruit and honey, both of which can be made into wine with a maximum alcohol content of about 12 percent. Starch is also a potential source of alcohol, but it must be converted to sugar by enzymes before yeast can digest it. There are enzymes in saliva that can accomplish this, and one of the earliest kinds of hecr was made by Indians in tropical America who learned to chew corn to a pulp, spit it into clay pots, mix it with water, and let it ferment. Sprouting grains also produce usable enzymeS in standard beermaking, sprouted barley (malt) is used to convert the starcli of... 

A source of alcohol and alcoholic beverages. The starch of grains, potatoes, etc., is first hydrolyzed by natural sprouting, as in the preparation of barley malt, or by the addition of malt to it. The hydrolytic products, glucose and maltose, are then fermented by the addition of yeast, containing the enzymes, maltase, and zymase, and alcohol is thus produced. This has been fully discussed in the chapter on alcoholic fermentation, (p. 95). 

Derivation (1) Bacterial fermentation of apple cider, wine, or other fruit juice. (2) Fermentation of malt or barley. The fermenting agent is usually a mold, e.g., Mycoderma aceti, generally known as mother. Either type can be distilled to remove color and other impurities and is then called white vinegar. 

Beer based on the fermentation of starches from barley malt, rice, com, wheat, potatoes, and other sources. While low-alcohol beers are made, most beers contain around 3 to 5% ethanol by volume. 

The new edition appears as two volumes because a single one would be inconveniently bulky. The first volume outlines the entire process and leads from barley, malting and water to the production of sweet wort. In the second volume there are chapters on hops and hop products, production of hopped wort, fermentation, yeast biology and all aspects of beer qualities and treatment.

In distilling, the soluble materials may be extracted, as in brewing, or the whole mass fermented, the alcohol then being distilled off. The residue after filtration is sold as wet or dried distiller s grains. In Scotland, whisky distilleries are either malt or grain types (Fig. 22.4). The former use barley malt alone, whereas the latter use a mixture of cereals, which may include barley, maize, wheat and oats. 

Beer making or brewing involves the use of germinated barley (malt), hops, yeast and water. In addition to malt from barley, other starch- and/or sugar-containing raw materials have a role, e. g., other kinds of malt such as wheat, unmalted cereals called adjuncts (barley, wheat, com, rice), starch flour, starch degradation products and fermentable sugars. The use of additional raw materials may necessitate in part the use of microbial enzyme preparations.
